Early Thursday morning, the television academy announced its nominations for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards. The big winner was Netflix, which had nominations for "House of Cards" and "Arrested Development" in the series and performer categories. This was a first for online only programs.

Emmy rules changes in 2007 allowed for "qualified broadband programming" to compete with cable and broadcast programming in all categories. This was the first year, however, that such programming has been nominated in the big categories.

Final Tally:
17 Nominations: American Horror Story: Asylum
16: Game of Thrones
15: Behind The Candelabra and Saturday Night Live
13: Breaking Bad and 30 Rock
12: Downton Abbey, Mad Men and Modern Family
11: Homeland and Phil Spector
10: Boardwalk Empire
